The form to register comes from the state and is available online or in a paper version, which you can download.  Alternatively you may register in person with the Greenwich Registrars at Town Hall.

Registrations must be completed online or in person, or postmarked, at least 18 days in advance of the election or primary in which you will vote.  You can check your status - and find your polling place - with either the state's or the town's online tools.

If you miss the registration deadline, you may participate in Election Day Registration (EDR), also known as Same Day Registration (SDR), in person, and then either obtain, complete, and submit an absentee ballot, or proceed to your polling place.

According to the rules set by each political party, only voters registered with that party are eligible to vote in that party's primary.  Party affiliation may be changed using the same tools as registration.

If you are 17 now and will be 18 by the November election you may pre-register.  If you register with a major political party you are permitted to vote in that party's primary.

🇺🇸 Step 3: Ballot Options


You can vote absentee if you meet the criteria (see below). 

Greenwich Town Clerk is responsible for distributing absentee ballots.  


Absentee ballots require 4 steps:
1. Request an application by visiting or calling the Town Clerk (203-622-7897), or access the application online by downloading and printing or visiting the state portal.
2. Complete the application once you have received it or downloaded it, and mail or hand deliver it to the Town Clerk, or complete the application online via the state portal.
3. Your ballot will be mailed to you.   Carefully follow the instructions for voting, signing, and sealing.
4. Ensure the ballot is received by the Town Clerk no later than 8pm on Election Day.  You can mail it via the Postal Service, hand-deliver it, or drop it in an official box in the Town Hall lobby, Town Hall parking lot, or Safety Complex lobby.

You can vote early at Town Hall during specific times.  This is new in Connecticut in 2024!  Early voting is very different from absentee voting because no excuse is needed and voters must appear in person at their early voting polling location to cast a ballot.

 

EARLY VOTING in the 2024 general election

 

All ballots cast early are kept sealed until Election Day.

 

PRESENTATION ON EARLY VOTING JANUARY 2024

You can vote at your polling place on Election Day.

Look up Greenwich voting hours and locations.

If you have a disability, please refer to this information on accessible voting.  You may also be eligible to vote absentee; see below.

Election Day Registration is compatible with all three ballot options, though it is unavailable for special elections or primaries.  You can register on any of the early voting days, or on Election Day, and then proceed to your polling place.  Or you can register, request an absentee ballot application, submit it, obtain your ballot, complete it, and turn it in - all in one visit to Town Hall!

 

Absentee Ballot Voter Information





Absentee Ballots

Connecticut law allows absentee ballot use because of:
  • active service in the military,
  • absence from the town during all of the hours of voting,
  • illness,
  • religious tenets forbidding secular activity on the day of the election,
  • duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all of the hours of voting,
  • or physical disability.
To receive your absentee ballot please complete and sign an absentee ballot application and return it to the Town Clerk.

 

Absentee Ballots of Other Types

  • Print Disability
    The absentee ballot application, which is accessible by screen readers, includes a check box to indicate that the voter has a print disability.  The Town Clerk will send the ballot envelopes WITHOUT a ballot to the voter and the Secretary of the State will e-mail an accessible ballot to the voter.  The voter will fill out the ballot using their screen reader, print it, and return it in the provided envelopes.  The inner envelope must be signed but it is OK if the signature is not in the correct spot.
